The company decline to provide specific details, but Sharp executive Masami Ohbatake told reporters in Tokyo that the two devices already announced with the technology would soon be joined by many more.
In recent weeks, Sharp has announced a smartphone and a small tablet for the Japanese market that have screens employing IGZO, named after the indium gallium zinc oxide semiconductor on which it is based.
The Sharp Aquos Pad SHT21 tablet has a 7-inch IGZO display with a resolution of 1280 pixels by 800 pixels. Sharp is a known supplier to Apple.
IGZO can be used to make screens with smaller pixels than current screens, drawing less power and providing greater accuracy.
Sharp says its new Aquos Phone Zeta SH-02E, scheduled to go on sale by the end of this year, can last two days on a single charge of its 2,320mAh battery under normal usage.
Its Aquos Pad tablet, to go on sale in early December, can play video back for 10 hours without a recharge. Both the phone and the tablet will only be sold in Japan.
